Topic: cordless tools (Read 3050 times)

I have been using one of these Dewalts for 2 years. I love it, but this is the 2nd one that stops working in "bent" mode and only works when straight. I have purchased the $10 OTC exchange warranty from Lowe's with both screwdrivers which is well worth the extra $$ to be able to walk in with a broken tool and out with a new one but I want something that will last longer that 8-10 months.

I have a nice black and decker drill driver i got from Lowes for $20. Really lasts a long time between charges.

About the icons: The beer is tip link, if a tech saves ya some money buy em a 6 pack. The small green square=personal message. The green dot is a link to my web page on appliance repair and other general BS I love to post. The letter sends me email.I love fan letters! LOL

Here is a link to it, but it looks like now it is a 12V screw gun! I saw a DeWalt at Lowes/Home Depot that was shorter, had three lights, had higher rpm (1400), and also ran on 12V, which means it probably has more torque for compressor bolts. The down side of the DeWalt screwgun I saw was it didn't have a low torque setting.

I use this Makita to do everything from panel screws to cleaning out ducts with the rotary brush. I normally get 3 to 4 days out of a battery. If I clean a duct, it takes at least one battery. I always have a battery charged and ready to go in the service truck.

Here is a link to the 1/4" shaft drill adapter that I put on the screw gun for when I need to use things designed for a traditional drill.

Bosch PS-41 impact 12v. Tough as nails. Started off with the PS-21 2 speed. That was a Great drill driver as well, but lacked in three areas. Torque(even in low), speed(even in high), and switching back and forth between speeds! Lol! The PS-41 controls the speed so well, it works on delicate fasteners and has the torque to break free bolts, then spins them out at 2600 rpm! Best drill in its class if i do say so myself!
